Default Front and rear control arms + a arms

What is a good set of front and rear upper control arms, and a arm?

For the package I was thinking the 27-AA003 BMR Fabrication Tubular Front Upper (Standard) & Lower A-Arms Package Price, 1993-2002 F-body

From Thunder racing.

And the rear control arms as the 27-MTCA001 BMR Lower Control Arms Tubular Chrome Moly w/ Poly/Poly Bushings

From Thunder racing as well.

I was also looking into getting a tubular k member as well with a torque arm. Are these some good pieces?

if you are after weight savings the BMR upper (or anyones for that matter) isn't going to save any weight over the stock upper a-arm,they are stronger just not lighter......

I'm pretty much after better handling, and I heard that control arms combined with a arms, tubular k members, and shocks/springs give you a pretty good weight reduction TOTAL.

I'm getting:

Strut tower brace
Torque arm
Tubular k member with poly motor mounts
Kenny Brown diamond sub frames
Front and rear control arms
A arms

Does that seem like a pretty good setup?

i hear that the k-member wil ADD flex over the stock peace. the main advantage for the k-member would be for weight reduction in drag racing. my 2 cents.

I agree. Most of what I read about em makes me want to stay away from them for anything but drag racing. Vibrations, difficult alignment, insecure feeling... But they do shave pounds. Pro-fab makes on that looks beefy, not sure if its stronger than the stock k member though.

Check out UMI and LG motorsports for your front suspension pieces.
